Historical controversy

Announce
edit
In 1924, the British scholar Oliver Sheldon proposed in his book "The Philosophy of Management"“ Corporate social responsibility ”The concept of. It is known from the available data that this is the earliest description of "corporate social responsibility" so far. He linked corporate social responsibility with the responsibility of company operators to meet various human needs inside and outside the industry, and believed that corporate social responsibility included moral factors.
In the 1930s, there was a famous Dodd Bailey controversy in the American corporate law circle Managers Who is the trustee? ". Professor Dodd took the lead in pointing out that companies have social responsibilities to employees, consumers and the public, although these social responsibilities may not be seen in the law for the company Statutory obligations But should be strictly observed by the company's managers professional ethics Later, Professor Berle immediately objected: the only purpose of commercial companies is to make profits for shareholders, and the company managers have the same responsibility to shareholders as trustees. If the managers are required to be responsible for other people than shareholders, then the owners control the company, and the managers should be responsible for the owners Fiduciary Responsibility The company law rules of the company will be weakened or even subverted. In the name of the company's social responsibility, various interest groups will put forward property requirements to the company as market economy The private ownership of basic property will be shaken, and the result will be similar to an economic civil war public wealth Redistribution.
However, it was not until 1953 that Howard R. Bowen, known as the "father of corporate social responsibility", published the book "Social Responsibility of Businessmen" that the modern debate on corporate social responsibility really began. Bowen defines corporate social responsibility as the obligation of businessmen to approach relevant policies, make corresponding decisions and take ideal concrete actions according to the goals and values of society.
In 1961, Eells and Walton further developed the concept of corporate social responsibility. They believed that "when people talk about corporate social responsibility, they are considering what companies and enterprises bring to society negative effect , and the ethical principles that should be followed in dealing with the relationship between the company and society ".
In 1975, Davis and Blomstrom gave a clearer definition of social responsibility in their book Economy and Society: Environment and Responsibility. They claimed that "social responsibility refers to the obligation of decision makers to take measures to protect and promote the overall interests of society while promoting their own interests".
Incorporate corporate social responsibility into economic legal obligation In 1963, McGuire put forward a new view: "The idea of social responsibility believes that enterprises not only have economic and legal obligations, but also have obligations to society beyond these obligations". However, this definition does not clearly explain what obligations beyond economic and legal obligations are. Sethi (1975)'s definition of social responsibility is a supplement to this. In his opinion, "social responsibility" refers to social responsibility when it is consistent with the value expectations of mainstream norms enterprise behavior Hierarchy ".
Of course, there are many arguments and voices from scholars who oppose "corporate social responsibility".
Gunness once pointed out that some people criticized corporate social responsibility, which reflected the company's belief that it was directly responsible for solving many problems that troubled the society, and that it was also capable of assuming this responsibility alone. In fact, this belief was at most an unrealistic hope. Smith also believes that the term "corporate social responsibility" is ambiguous; In his opinion, "corporate social responsibility" is just a kind of instrument of propaganda or publicity nothing more. This term has never described the behavior standards of enterprises, but is just a tool for companies, governments and consumer groups to fight against each other ".
It can be seen that "corporate social responsibility" is a rather complex concept, which has caused extensive debate and discussion among experts and scholars. The concept of corporate social responsibility has been gradually clarified in the debate between proponents and opponents.
In 1979, Carroll, a famous scholar, gave a comprehensive definition, which seemed to summarize the debate on the concept of corporate social responsibility at this stage. He believed that corporate social responsibility refers to the sum of the economic, legal, ethical and benevolent expectations of society on organizations in a given period of time. This concept was widely recognized for a long time afterwards.
